CSK captain MS Dhoni once again marshalled his troops well. Dhoni led his team by example as it was his cameo of 20 off 9 deliveries that provided the late impetus CSK needed.
Young CSK pacer Matheesha Pathirana continued to raise his stocks with his performance against Delhi Capitals as he picked up a couple of wickets. Irfan reckons CSK have found a perfect Dwayne Bravo replacement in Pathirana.
Speaking on Star Sports’ Cricket Live, Irfan Pathan said, “Every team looks for a bowler whom they can bank upon in the death overs. MI had Malinga, they have Bumrah. KKR had Sunil Narine during two IPL seasons when they lifted the trophy. CSK had Bravo and now they have Pathirana. He’s a perfect replacement, plus he has genuine pace.”
